Take a peep at this building. Be quick—be quick;
Take a peep at this building. Be quick:
'Tis the house where the lords deal in high sounding words,
And that's about all. Be quick—be quick;
Don't waste your time. Be quick.


There will be the place, just now, just now;
That will be the place, just now;
But faith, they must tarry, and wait for 'Squire Barry,
Who seems in no hurry, just now—just now,
Who appears in no hurry, just now.


Here's the show of St. Paul's; walk up—walk up;
Just a going to begin—walk up;
It seems an abuse, nor yet just the use
A church should be put to; walk up—walk up;
The charge only twopence; walk up.


And here stands another; fork out—fork out;
A sort of twin brother; fork out;
This is Westminster Abbey, and there's a fat babby,
Both charge the same price; fork out—fork out,
Both charge the same price; fork out.
